Right now the lead states that Trump facilitated the Jan 6 attack. He has never been convicted of such an act and the lead doesn't give a source. Just seems to be an opinion. Trump has not been convicted of any such crimes in relation to Jan 6. [[User:Liger404|Liger404]] ([[User talk:Liger404|talk]]) 09:17, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

::well the Stormy Daniels comment does have a link. But regardless, this claim doesn't re appear in the body and so ultimately remains an unsupported opinion/false accusation.

::::As far as I can tell that is just circular support. Yes that article does say " including facilitating the January 6 Capitol attack." but does not have any source to support that.

:This comes under [[MOS:WEASEL]]: "words and phrases aimed at creating an impression that something specific and meaningful has been said, when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated." "To facilitate" means to make something easier. The Capitol police for example facilitated the riot by having ony 500 police present. Congress facilitated the riot by not declaring Trump elected. Of course neutral editors would not put that into their articles without explanation. We should just explain how Trump made the riot easier without using big words many readers may not understand.

== Misogyny and cabinet appointments ==
 
A misogynist is a person who hates or discriminates against women.[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misogynist]
 
In this article there is the section [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Donald_Trump&oldid=1259134731#Misogyny_and_allegations_of_sexual_misconduct Misogyny and allegations of sexual misconduct].
 
Here are some of the positions where Trump has appointed women to cabinet positions in his next administration so far: Attorney general, Secretary of Homeland Security, Secretary of Labor, Director of National Intelligence, United Nations Ambassador, Secretary of Education, Surgeon General.[https://web.archive.org/web/20241123140506/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/us/politics/trump-administration-cabinet-appointees.html]
 
I don't know of any sources so far that reconcile the characterization of Trump as a misogynist and his cabinet appointments of women, and suggest we be on the lookout for such sources so that the article can be appropriately edited. Thanks. [[User:Bob K31416|Bob K31416]] ([[User talk:Bob K31416|talk]]) 17:43, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
 
:Bob, this is a "I have black friends so I can't be racist!" fallacy, as women can be misogynist too. It is not a prejudice exclusive to men. But even beyond that, the president-elect nominating women to his administration does not counterbalance his past words and deeds that numerous reliable sources have characterized as misogynist. {{tq|I don't know of any sources...and suggest we be on the lookout for such sources}} suggests that you have already formed a personal opinion about content to add to a BLP, and hope it can someday be validated. That is literally a textbook example of [[confirmation bias]] . [[User:Zaathras|Zaathras]] ([[User talk:Zaathras|talk]]) 18:11, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
::This being said there is an issue in misogyny being in wikivoice while every other prejudice/label is attributed. [[User:Rollinginhisgrave|Rollinginhisgrave]] ([[User talk:Rollinginhisgrave|talk]]) 20:56, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
::Well, to be fair, this does just seem like opinion not fact. This isn't supposed to be gossip. Certainly some think he is sexist. But some think he isn't and Wikipedia isn't really supposed to be elevating particular opinions over others. The allegations/liability in sexual misconduct is fact, that bit is solid. [[User:Liger404|Liger404]] ([[User talk:Liger404|talk]]) 23:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
:::Please read [[WP:NPOV]]. Wikipedia content policy is complicated, nuanced, and not always intuitive. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but that you're exhibiting very little understanding of policy. For starters, what "some think" is irrelevant. A prime example: "Some think" the 2020 election was stolen. &#8213;[[User:Mandruss|<span style="color:#775C57;">'''''Mandruss'''''</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Mandruss|<span style="color:#888;">&#9742;</span>]] 08:45, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

:*Content being longstanding means very little on Wikipedia. The relevant policy here is [[WP:EDITCONSENSUS]], which makes it clear that any change to content, whether the content is long-standing or not has presumed consensus: "Wikipedia consensus usually occurs implicitly.

Roughly 10 million men in his age group were not drafted due to deferments and special status."}} What we've got now covers that he did not serve. Military service isn't an eligibility requirement to be president.

:Definitely include President Biden being the first President in US history to pardon a family member (his son was pardoned all the way back to his beginnings at Burisma, 2011) charged with multiple felonies and millions of dollars in tax evasion. That could show a balance between the DOJ Already being politically weaponized or the DOJ Will be politically weaponized under the incoming president. This adds a lot to Trump's political reasoning on certain federal departments' motives. A look into the beast, so to speak.

'''Oppose split.''' What are "political policies"? If we are talking about his political positions, we have [[Political positions of Donald Trump]].

'''Oppose''' - For starters "political policies" is ridiculous redundant phrasing. Separate articles already exist for his first administration's [[Economic policy of the first Donald Trump administration|economic policy]], [[Social policy of Donald Trump|social policy]], and [[Foreign policy of the first Donald Trump administration|foreign policy]]. No need to create yet another article about his policies.

'''Strongly oppose.''' Political policies, what kind of Deepak Chopra mumbo-jumbo is that? Policy is the actual or proposed implementation of political philosophy and principles, the phrasing of ''political policies'' is about as coherent as the phrase ''thoughtful thinking''. From that alone, I can already sense that the stench of bullocks is strong with this split proposal. Upon further inspection, I feel that such initial hunch of mine was right.
